Assist with in-house and out-of-house compliance testing, leading efforts to solve mechanical, EMI and safety problems as a result of the compliance testing, participating in planning meetings, developing schedules and budgets, generating regulatory and safety strategies and serving as liaison with testing and qualification agencies. Also, as a member of the product development team, review of both new and old designs to ensure all agency requirements are met. Desired candidate would have experience in electronic design for compliance (EMC, safety, and environmental), preferably in military projects with knowledge of compliance specifications and test procedures for MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-704, MIL-STD-1275, DO-160, Defense Standards, FCC, CE, LVD, etc.
Competencies
General
Adaptability
Tries to understand changes in work-group tasks, situations, and the department as well as the logic or basis for change; occasionally seeks information about changes affecting their individual job. Treats changes and new situations as opportunities for learning or growth; focuses on the beneficial aspects of change; speaks positively about the change to fellow work group members. Quickly modifies behavior to deal effectively with changes in the work environment; readily tries new approaches appropriate for new or changed situations; does not persist with ineffective behaviors.
Collaboration
Makes an effort to work effectively and cooperatively with fellow work group members; establishes and maintains productive working relationships by involving other work group members as appropriate and thanking them for their assistance. Places higher priority on work group goals rather than on own goals; offers to help other employees when they need assistance.
Communication
Makes an effort to clarify purpose and importance; stresses major points; follows a logical sequence. Tries to keep the audience engaged through use of techniques such as analogies, illustrations, humor, an appealing style, body language, and voice inflection. With guidance from others frames messages in line with audience experience, background, and expectations; tries to use terms, examples, and analogies that are meaningful to the audience. Occasionally seeks input from audience; checks understanding; tries to present message in different ways to enhance understanding. Uses syntax, pace, volume, diction, and mechanics appropriate to the media being used. Interprets messages from others and responds appropriately; at times requires guidance from others on how to respond. Technical
